I went to 18" AMG staggered wheels: Specifically, 18x8.5 AMG Double Spoke Bright Sil, front, and 18x9 AMG Double Spoke Bright Sil, back. They look good and are not too expensive ($2-3k). I'll try to attach a photo:

You Should Change Your Rear Light Cluster To The New Style...

Yes: I thought about doing that but am a little timid about mods. They can actually lower re-sale value. But they do look good. I did just (five minutes ago) order the clear front bumper light lenses. They tried to sell me the tail lights too, but I said no for now.

Hi jayhawk I have 19" amg rims with 255x40x19 goodyear eagles, CL style Front grill, chrome headlight rings, xenon 100 watt super white bulbs, updated rear lights, new removable towing hitch, chrome mirror covers, led mirror indicators, Amg quad exhaust tail pipes, Kenwood CD changer, roof mounted rear DVD player with interface to front comand, and Amg sport wallnut steering wheel. All I need now is a set of updated front lights and a AMG body kit and I will be happy.

Almost forgot full anti laser/laser jammer and speed camera equipment

Hi Nigel I got lucky and paid £1314 with a new set of tyres of E-Bay. Check out E-Bay item number 8051688415 they look like a good set of replica AMG rims

I'm impressed! BTW: I run the Eagle F1s (245/45WR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 XL, front, and 275/40YR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, back, to be exact) too.

Just keep looking on E-Bay Nigel. You never know you might get lucky like I did and get a nice used set. Have noticed one person selling some new sets, but at £2900

Not that AMG wheels look bad at all, but I have a soft spot for lowered cars on stock wheels. Hence, my car is lowered, but I don't plan on getting new wheels.

Plus, the small 16 inchers are great to get that sleeper look if I do plan on making it faster.
